#ThanksToYou
The National Museum of Flight will be throwing open its doors for free to National Lottery players on 8 and 9 December. The Museum is one of hundreds of participating National Lottery-funded visitor attractions across the UK saying ‘thanks’ to people who have raised money for good causes by buying a lottery ticket.
The idea is simple: any visitor who presents a National Lottery ticket or scratchcard on 8 or 9 December gets free entry in return.
The National Museum of Flight has received £1.3 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The money has helped to pay for the redevelopment of two nationally significant Second World War hangars, devoted to military and civil aviation.
Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: “December is a wonderful time to experience the UK’s rich, diverse and exciting heritage, which has been transformed by more than £7.8bn National Lottery funding since 1994. This is a small gesture of thanks and a way of giving something back to the people who buy tickets.”
Steve McLean, General Manager at the National Museum of Flight said: “Thanks to National Lottery players we’ve been able to redevelop two of our nationally significant Second World War hangars. Devoted to military and civil aircraft, they explore a century of aviation and present the incredible stories of some of the people behind the planes.”
